Kalanachi Bhkari

As we all know Bhakri is very famous in Maharashtra and Karnataka. Bhakri has traditionally been the farmer's food, but in modern days however, bhakri has been replaced by roti and paratha, but still enjoys its own fan-following. It is made mostly from jowar flour, bajra flour, nachni flour and even rice flour. But today I am going to show you new variety of Bhakri which is a mixture of Black gram (Urad) and jowar. This bhakri is from 'Khandesh' (Maharashtra). Specially they make this in Winter season. This is best to be consumed in Winter , as it is known to generate heat and keep you warm. This Bhakri can accompany virtually any vegetable, daal or chutney (thecha), but in my house we eat this with groundnut and garlic chutney.


Ingredient

Jowar - 1 kg
Black gram (urad) - 250gms
Warm water
Salt - 1 tsp

Procedure
Mix jowar and black gram and grind it to fine flour . This flour is called as 'Kalana'.
Now take 'Kalana' flour in a vessel and make a well in the middle. Add salt and warm water.
Knead nicely to make a soft dough. Make round balls out of this dough. On a flat surface, sprinkle little flour and pat the ball with your palm ( you can roll it like roti also). Use flour as required. Keep flattening the ball in circular motion to make round shape like roti. Don't make it too thin. Heat a griddle (tawa) . Lower the flame. Now place Bhakri on griddle in such a way that the lower portion of bhakri should be on griddle. Now spread little of water on upper side of bhakri. When water on bhakri dries completely turn it to cook from other side. Now remove from griddle and keep it on the direct flame. It will get puffed. It will need practice for puffed bhakri. Serve it with Groundnut Chutney and onion ( And if you prefer green chilly shsh……).

I would like to send this recipe to Trupti's 'Winter Treat Event '
